I like this style!!. If possible, could yo please tell me how to make new tank?

Where can I purchase it?

Guy - just bought No. 18. In the unlikely event of a spill, I assume I can come back to you for the bespoke bodywork bits??

Skid you're a pure artist 👏👏👏

Beautiful

Hi guy having the same problem with my 200 sooting plugs low revs tried a Chinese carb not much better back to original carb lots of adjustments and finally running not to bad think new silences will make a difference as one is rattling, thanks for a great channel, terry ,

I like it, and agree with all your design decisions. Would it look better without the tool roll on the forks?

Great job on this! Really nice to see I’m not the only one who’s already thinking about mods 😂 agreed that your mudguard shortening + offset makes it look more like a motorcycle and less like a bike. I’ve been staring at the rear mudguard thinking about what I can change on the RM1S. Have you ever thought about mounting the license plate on the side to have a very clean and minimalist rear?

Guy, I have to say, you have turned what I consider yo be a fairly unattractive bike into a beauty!

Watching, I think it was Shed & Buried, Classic Cars, when I saw what looked like a small Honda dressed in a full fairing. So I came looking for it & found this. Great to see this lovely classic bike being cared for.

1:32 hi guy hope all is good with you just wondering if you could post what model carburetor you used to sort out the honda 200 as im having the same issues cheers ,

If you haven't joined the XL Forum yet, get there. We know those CV carbs inside and out. Plus lots of other stuff.

I actually learn things from you, proper style of presentation with no fancy cuts and edits, I love it.

If it’s electron ignition, it is a 1979 roadster. Very rare bike I have one Why did you put points on that bike? I believe your bike has been made to runoff electronic ignition. Does your frame number match your motor number? To be a true 79 frame and the motor had the same numbers. You can buy the electronic ignition for that here in the US They’re not very expensive and you don’t have to mess with points Did it come with points?

Loud pipes saves lives.

What year is it?

Looks good and sounds brilliant you have got yourself a nice sportster.

Very nice job there Guy. I think the standard shocks would be about 14", so yours are slammed. It's great fun making stuff for your bike. 👍

Hi Guy, Harley's are not my thing at all, but that's ok, you like them. I did however like your informal chat about your lovely bike and all the things that you have done to make it yours. Very enjoyable, thank you. Take care Mate.👍

Not a legal angle for the number plate.

Anyone know what forks he used? He mentioned the back shocks a little bit so I can figure that out.

love it guy

Great looking bike 😊

Looks great without the fan tails….never understood why anyone likes them. Curious why you did not stick with electronic ignition?

My CD200 timing is also right at one end of the slotted holes, in fact I had to file them out a little, I have put this down to aftermarket points being of slightly different proportions to the original.

Simple carb but they are abit of a faff to assemble with the spring tension needing to be held. I bought a new one; mainly as I suspected my floats were porous, was about £22 (including a spark plug & pod filter!) and has the Keihin name on it (🤔!) Still seems to have high tickover issues after several fettles but mainly when cold so sort of acts like an auto choke!

Cosmic.

Good work but I like the original fender more - especially the carbon one. Greetings from Berlin

Good stuff thanks! Great DIY spirit! I have a 73 XLH for about 15 years. A treat to tinker with and a reliable old steed.

Looks awesome , great job m8

looks great a one off love the paint work the whole thing well done

I just found this. Any final updates on this bike?

Link for shop please

I have had Benleys for years. I did 160000 miles on one, 66000 on another and the one i am putting back on the road after getting it historical, has only done 50000. Carburettor problems with is leaking fuel from the overflow. Any suggestions. You should be proud of your Benly as lt has been garaged most of its life by the look of things. Clean as a whistle. Mine not so.

You got more on the shelf then Triumph Dealers , Great vid I bought a little 250 trophy TR25W needs some work , but it was the first bike i had at 15 I have got x t120 but like you I fancy going round again ? I am now 68 /great show .

Great vid.👍🌟

My 1st bike was the great CD 175. Got 70 to the gallon and it sat at 70 all day! Wish i still had it.

Excellent video Guy 😊

Hi Guy. I absolutely loved my Honda CB200, fantastic back and forwards to work, also Lived in Hertfordshire but used to travel down to see family in Cornwall. Then moved onto a Honda CB650 V with shaft driven and LED readout! 🎉🎉 beautiful bike indeed! Cheers. 😊

Leave the fishtails off. Looks much more clean without them.

Thats about the ugliest Harley I have ever seen!

Thanks for the advice about the bolts. I admit I didn't know that. Col

Hi guy just got a cd200 love the bike it's a 81 model and have found it holds it rebs when throttling off so watching your video you recommend putting a Chinese carb on ? Are you still happy with yours ? Cheers,,terryfred

You gotta ride your ride. Nice bike, love the rear tire.....Nice

Where did the name Five Four come from ? .

Would it be possible to swap for a bench seat? This frame likely can’t support for sitting at the back of the bench but I’m curious what this bike with a bench would look like.

Thanks for this. I have exactly the same problem. Well, not the misfiring, just the oil leak. Don't suppose you have the oil seal part number?

Nice looking Mercian over by the bench there!

Wow well done great looking rear mudguard, do you think its possible to fabricate a rear rack for saddle bags ? as I do not like the side mounted bag they are currently selling
